Dear Digital Medievalist list,
Following the publication of the peer-reviewed paper The Language and Writing System of MS408 (Voynich) Explained, in the journal Romance Studies, many scholars have requested a method paper of instruction in order to participate in translating the manuscript.
Thus, a free method paper is now available to download from the LingBuzz website, titled The Algorithmic Method for Translating MS408 (Voynich): https://ling.auf.net/lingbuzz/004653
The manuscript is an aid memoire written for Maria of Castile, Queen of Aragon, and originates from Castello Aragonese, Ischia, Italy. c. 1444.
Kindest regards,

I am sorry for intervening, too. This paper has not been properly peer reviewed and has been removed from the publication list of the University of Bristol because of severe considerations regarding it's contents. Experts in the field have a lot of concerns regarding the method used in the study.
Best Regards

Hi Gert,
I'm not sure what you mean by 'not been properly peer-reviewed' - I simply submitted the paper and it went through the usual protocol of blind peer-review, so clearly a number of scholars must have supported it.
Also, it is only a 'theory' - so it is open to testing and revision as all theories are. That is how science works. I'm not sure why anyone would wish to counter that process, as it would be doing science a disservice.
Kindest regards,
Gerard.
